Just a few facts not to forget. TVEL here confirms: There is a lack of uranium, now expressing itself in soaring uranium prices. This fact was not taken up in the Belene project. Also when Bulgaria's tiny uranium resources will be exploited, this will not stop the price increases. And as Gazprom does with gas, TVEL will take care Bulgaria will have to pay world market prices for it. Bulgaria has not even started cleaning up the legacies of its old uranium mining operations because of lack of money. I do not know of a detailed and reliable estimate of the costs of that - as comparison, the Czech Republic misses at the moment 57,6 Billion CZK - that is 1,8 Billion Euro until the year 2040 for the clean-up of its closed mining operations. The money is not there - it's probably the taxpayer who has to foot the bill. The 1 to 2 Billion Euro or 2 to 4 Billion Leva that new uranium mining might cost (including cleaning up) is not taken up in the social-economic analysis of either Belene or Kozloduy 5 and 6. Bulgaria has alternatives to nuclear power - neither Belene nor re-newed uranium mining are needed and Kozloduy 5 and 6 could be closed after its projected lifetime (or even earlier) if it now starts investing in energy efficiency and prepare good market conditions for renewable energy sources. Bulgaria is now planning to spend under pressure of the EBRD 200 Million Euro into energy efficiency. As comparison: it plans to spend up to 3 Billion (or more when the expected cost-overruns will become clear) on Belene... Bulgaria lags far behind countries like the Czech Republic in its legeslation to start using its renewable energy sources.
